Boarding is available for Middle School and High School students. The Middle School campus and the High School campus offer UK/US style boarding education, in addition to day-student options. The Primary School operates as a day school.
A school uniform is worn at the Primary School. On Unity Day, Primary School students wore white instead of their school uniform to show unity.
The canteen offers three meal choices: Chinese, Western, or a noodle dish. The dining environment is lit by natural light, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere.
The Songjiang campus uses a house system with House Prefects and a Housemaster or House Mistress. In each residential building, two to three students serve as House Prefects, supporting the Housemaster or House Mistress in boarding life. Houses hold events such as monthly meetings and house dinners, and the Common Room serves as an activity hub.
The school is a private non-profit institution founded in 2007, in memory of Yue-Kong Pao. It operates three campuses: Primary School, Middle School, and High School.
YK Pao School is a non-profit bilingual (Chinese–English) school founded in 2007 that offers a Year 1–12 programme across three Shanghai campuses. The Primary School is located on West Wuding Road in Changning District (city centre); the Middle School is in Changning (near the Xijiao State Guest Hotel / Metro Line 10 area); and the High School is on the Songjiang (Thames Town) campus with a residential programme. The High School follows IGCSE and the IB Diploma (DP) alongside core components of the Chinese National Curriculum; Primary and Middle combine the Chinese National Curriculum with selected international syllabuses. The website lists about 1,600 students and provides a 2024/25 tuition table (fees shown per semester). For map links the site points to external map viewers rather than publishing Google Maps coordinates.
